Nexify π
NEXIFY submission to the Kenney 2024 game jam for "connection" For some reason this one was a hard one for me but I knew it would be when I signed up. I mostly get my ideas from doing artwork, with the artwork already created I had to think of gameplay more then just beautiful artwork as Kenney has already provided that. I started and stopped three different times and didn't really have a solid idea until I landed on what I have now, which I am very happy with.
The idea is the connection between objects and trying to figure how how to get them all in place. Once you figure out what the interactable object is, the rest will follow that object around. You're goal is to figure out the connection between the objects and then connect them in order where they belong. Part of the fun is figuring out what exactly you are supposed to do.

My goal was to keep it simple as I tend to over complicate my games to the point of never finishing them or thinking up things when I'm almost done that change the scope entirely, I'm really bad about that, I did have to fight that some with this game also.
Submitted are 10 levels that go up in difficulty a title screen and an ending of sorts, I don't think the game is overly hard, the last level is tough though. I can imagine a lot of ways to make really neat puzzles what what I have created and I'm excited to work on this more in the future.

All the numbers follow the number one box in order, figure out where they go :)

The idea came to me just messing around with Construct and exploring the different types of behaviors.
I'm really excited that I actually came up with an idea, I think that is one of the best things about game jams is somethings you make something you never would have otherwise.
Was really cool participating in this game jam, I look forward to any and all feedback :) I wish everyone luck with their projects also thank you for playing!

Could you please team up with some MOS6510 expert and port that game to the C64? I am pretty sure that it has all what it needs to be even picked up by one of the well known publishers for physical distribution using real CRTs with awesome packaging and posters. :)
Yeah that would be really cool honestly :) I do really like the idea of old school retro marketing and things like that, would be need to see it on an older platform :)
Cool game. I like that itβs playable from browser!
Thank you for playing it :D Yeah it was important for me that it can be played from the browser, should work on most phones and tablets also via the browser also :)
Oh wow, thatβs right, I can play it on mobile! Good job man
Very cool game, creative idea and the itch page it's a masterpiece!
Thank you! :) I'm happy you like it :D
Very nice execution!
Thank you π
nice job getting 3d! i really like this game
π yeah I was surprised there were so many good submissions to this jam. Thank you for playing :)
yeah no prob man it was really great and super fun to play
Very cool game, I'll admit I was confused at first (probably me being a dummy) but after a bit I got it down, good job!
:D I'm glad you stuck with it, one of my main worries was people not getting it and quitting :) Thank you for playing!
same here! hahahaha!
I really liked this game! Simple but fun puzzles!
Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed it!
This was nice, at first I didn't understand how you move to the next level until
I saw the dots, which I don't think it's a bad feature. Overall nice game. 8/10Thank you :D and yeah I added those dots in about an hour before I was finished, I'm glad I did.
This is awesome! I was really surprised by the mechanics and this fits incredible with the only-mouse jam restriction. I also love how you used the asset pack and the monochrome look! Great entry :D
Yeah I love the monochrome look of this pack, I think this is the best pack for 2D sprites. Happy you like the game :)
Nice work. But game is pretty hard. Good luck in future projects:)
Thank you :) And yeah you aren't wrong, it was actually a lot harder until my wife played it and was completely lost... I think with some more time I could create more of a balance with that.
Good luck)
wow, first i was very confused, then the π‘ came! this is great work!
:D thank you! I'm happy you liked it :)
